"-- Milliebot Reads "An enjoyable easy read . . . hopefully there''s a sequel in the not too distant future."-- Cannonball Read Praise for Dave Duncan: "Duncan excels at old-fashioned swashbuckling fantasy, maintaining a delicate balance between breathtaking excitement, romance and high camp in a genre that is easy to overdo. This is page-turning adventure with fun characters, crackling dialogue and a smart, twisty plot. "-- RT Book Reviews on Impossible Odds , reviewed by Jen Talley Exum (4.5/5 Stars) "[A] book that gave me the comfort I felt from the classic fantasy of yore with enough fresh ideas to allow it to sit unashamedly alongside the great fantasy books of recent times. . . . Good, solid high fantasy with interesting characters and and a clever, constantly weaving plot and narrative."-- Fantasy Book Review on Magic Casement " Duncan doesn''t disappoint with another extraordinary tale of magic, mayhem and family relationships. With great storytelling, stand-out worldbuilding, compelling characters and a quick-paced plot, this inventive fantasy will have you clamoring for book two. "-- RT Book Reviews on Speak to the Devil , reviewed by Gail Pruszkowski (4.5/5 Stars) "Like all Dave Duncan''s fantasies, Magic Casement has a charm and vibrant sense of humor. . . . rich talent and wit as a writer. . . . If it''s traditional fantasy adventure with a bit of nudge-nudge wink-wink you''re after, Dave Duncan is your go-to guy. "-- SF Reviews on Magic Casement " [V]ersatile, talented . . . An authoritative reworking of history , combining a splendid welter of religious and political intrigues with Duncan''s typically inventive, deft handling of magic and character-driven action."-- Kirkus Reviews on When the Saints " Deserves a wide readership and belongs in most fantasy collections. "-- Library Journal "Rich, evocative language and superior narrative skills . . . only enhance Duncan''s reputation as one of the leading masters of epic fantasy. "-- Publisher''s Weekly " Distinctive and markedly superior to most of the competition. "-- Kirkus Reviews "Dave Duncan writes rollicking adventure novels filled with subtle characterization and made bitter-sweet by an underlying darkness. Without striving for grand effects or momentous meetings between genres, he has produced one excellent book after another. "-- Locus "Duncan is an exceedingly finished stylist and a master of world building and characterization. "-- Booklist " Duncan writes with unusual flair , drawing upon folklore, myth, and his gift for creating ingenious plots."-- Year''s Best Fantasy and Horror "Dave Duncan is one of the best writers in the fantasy world today . His writing is clear, vibrant and full of energy. His action scenes are breathtaking and his skill at characterization is excellent."-- Writers Write "Duncan''s prose avoids the excessively florid in its description and the archaic in its dialogue, opting instead for simpler narration and contemporary parlance . . . serves as a refreshing reminder that epic fantasy need not always be doorstops filled with manly men speaking in overblown rhetoric and grasping their swords. "-- SFF World " Dave Duncan produces excellent work in book after book . . . Duncan is a great world-builder. His fantasy worlds are not mere medieval societies with magic added but make organic sense. Duncan''s other strength as a writer is strong characterization. Each of the main characters comes across as his or her own person."-- SFReview "Dave Duncan has long been one of the great unsung figures of Canadian fantasy and science fiction , graced with a fertile imagination, a prolific output, and keen writerly skills."-- Quill and Quire "The single greatest pleasure afforded by Duncan''s writing is its incredible polish and narrative mastery. . . . I heartily recommend it to any fantasy fan who''s looking for something slightly out of the ordinary."-- Ticonderoga Online " When you''re looking for a good adventure, Dave Duncan is a sure thing . Mostly in fantasy, but he can certainly do SF as well . . . [with] his sly & fast paced plotting, his ability to construct intriguingly different worlds, & his knack for quick & entertaining characterization & dialogue."-- Eclectic Ruckus
